This was simply…
This was simply preposterous!
At this moment, Jia Cong's mind was in turmoil, like a stormy sea. He could not help but feel a little dazed.
No matter how determined he was, when he suddenly heard the news that Chen Xiao said and saw the seal of the Minister's Office on the edict in his hand, he could not help but be in a daze.
In terms of official rank, the provincial governor and prefect were both official positions with a rank of six hundred stones.
Their power was equal.
In today's world, many people were transferred to the prefect position after being a provincial governor, or they were transferred from the prefect position to the provincial governor position.
It was a routine operation of the imperial court.
Therefore, if the imperial court really wanted to punish him and remove him from his position as the governor of Jizhou, then being transferred to the governor of Zhuo County was undoubtedly the best way to retreat!
It couldn't even be said to be a way out!
Because there was no loss at all!
However, this imperial edict was taken out from Chen Xiao's hands, which was not so normal. Jia Cong's intuition told him that there was a hidden reason!!
He closed his lips and looked at Chen Xiao with his mouth agape.
Chen Xiao actually smiled and shook her head.
"It's not just Governor Jia.”
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his face was filled with a smile like a spring breeze."I also found a way out for the people under Governor Jia.”
As he spoke, he took out two more silk books.
Jia Cong instinctively reached out to take it.
He opened it up.
Alright!
It was actually an edict to transfer him to Jizhou as the acting governor!
Not only that, but there was also Zhang He!
Conferring Zhang He as Cavalry Commandant?
When Jia Cong read out the contents of the two edicts while trembling, the honest Cai Yong, the resourceful Ju Shou, and Zhang He, who was ready to resign, were all stunned.
Especially Cai Yong.
He was really shocked by Chen Xiao's actions.
Forget about Zhang He, he had a low position in the Jizhou Army.
However, Jia Cong and Ju Shou were the mainstays of Jizhou!
This student of his was actually planning to get the two most important people in Jizhou to work under him? To wipe out all the talents in Jizhou?
This was too ruthless!
"Nephew…"
Jia Cong looked at Chen Xiao in a daze. His mind was at war with the heavens. For a moment, he actually did not know what to say.
Chen Xiao smiled." There's no need to thank you, Provincial Governor Jia. You can take the position of Zhuo County's prefect if you want to. If you don't want to, just tear up this edict. I guarantee that no one will pursue this matter!”
Thank you?
Haha!
At this moment, no matter how stupid Jia Cong was, he could sense that something was amiss.
Moreover, he was not stupid at all. In fact, he was extremely smart.
The young man in front of him kept saying that he had planned a way out for him and Qiushou, but it would be a ghost if he said that he had no plan!
Who knew if he was really helping her find a way out, or if he was kicking her in the face in this matter?
As a provincial governor, Jia Cong was at a loss.
He did not believe that Chen Xiao had such power!
As a provincial governor, he was an official with considerable weight in the eunuch party. If he spent money, it would not make sense for the Ten Generals to abandon him!
Not all the Ten Attendants were fools!
As eunuchs, the eunuchs needed local officials like him who held real power. They would never give up the interests of Jizhou, the largest province in the north, for a little money!
Taking a step back, even if the Ten Attendants were willing to sell anything for money…
Then Chen Xiao wouldn't spend so much money on him, right?
He was not a great ruler!
Moreover, Chen Xiao had already spent 300 million just to buy a Youzhou Prefecture Overseer. How could she spend it on him?!
" What's going on??"
The banquet suddenly fell into an indescribable silence.
Jia Cong's thoughts were like a tide, and he could not understand the mystery at all. After standing on the spot for a long time, he looked at Chen Xiao helplessly and sighed deeply."Nephew, I'm not feeling well…"
"In that case, I'll take my leave.”
Chen Xiao tactfully got up and left.
Cai Yong and Zhang He followed closely behind.
Jia Cong and Ju Shou were left behind. Their eyes met and they were silent for a long time.
……
After a long time, Jia Cong spoke first.
"Gongyu, what do you think happened?”
He looked at Qiushou and placed his hopes on his own think tank."Is it really as Chen Xiao said, that the Great General's faction and the Ten Attendants of the Supreme Court are fighting each other, and I have become an abandoned child? Is he really helping out of kindness?"
"Not necessarily."
Qiushou said helplessly.
There was too little information he knew. Even with his intelligence, he could not determine anything.
However, he was worthy of being a top scholar in Jizhou. He saw the core of the matter at a glance.
He took a few edicts from Jia Cong's hands and carefully observed them for a long time. Finally, he sighed."But no matter what the truth is, these edicts are real!”
Of course it was true!
It was precisely because he was certain that the edict was real that Jia Cong could not understand.
"The battle between the Great General and the eunuchs should not be false. It is just that we do not know the specific situation in the court and do not know the extent of the battle between the two sides.”
Ju Shou frowned slightly." Since things have come to this, what do you plan to do?" Do you really want to be the prefect of Zhuo County?"
Jia Cong was silent.
Under normal circumstances, it was not unacceptable to be transferred from a provincial governor to a county prefect.
But Zhuo County is in Youzhou.
If he went, he would be Chen Xiao's subordinate.
In terms of age, he was almost the same as Chen Xiao's teacher, Cai Yong. In terms of status, he was an important official of the court, while Chen Xiao was just a son-in-law half a month ago.
Even if he rose to a high position now, he wouldn't be able to last long.
Therefore, whether it was psychologically or in reality, Jia Cong could not accept that he would work for Chen Xiao.
However, the imperial court's edict had to be obeyed!
"How about this, Gongyu, you go to Daijun first. With your ability, it is indeed unfair for you to be a driver in Jizhou.”
After thinking for a long time, Jia Cong looked at Ju Shou and said,""This matter might not be an opportunity. As long as you can make achievements, your future achievements will be limitless!”
Qiushou also fell silent.
It was naturally a good thing for him to go from being a governor of a province to a county governor with real power.
However, he had a vague feeling that he had become a tool.
His own wishes didn't seem to matter at all.
His thoughts were complicated, but he couldn't make sense of them. In a daze, he looked at Jia Cong's edict."Then, Provincial Governor, you…"
"Me?"
As Jia Cong spoke, he looked in the direction of Luoyang."I'll wait a little longer! He wanted to see what happened in Luoyang before making a decision!”
